The net force on a mass is zero. Which ONE of the following must be TRUE? The mass must be at rest. The speed of the mass is constant but the direction of motion may be changing. Both the speed and the direction of motion of the mass may be changing. The direction of motion of the mass is constant but the speed may be changing. O The velocity of the mass is constant.
Physics student Matt has just learned about Newton's 3rd law of motion. He's considering a car pulling a trailer as shown below. T He thinks that since the tension force forward on the trailer is equal and opposite to the tension force backwards on the car, the net force on the car must be zero and therefore the car can't accelerate. Which one (or more) of the following statements is correct: The tension force forward on the trailer is not the same magnitude as the tension force backwards on the car. Matt has not considered all the forces acting on the car, such as the friction between the wheels and the ground, in order to calculate the net force on the car. The net force on the car is always zero and therefore the car cannot accelerate. Since the 2 tension forces act on different objects you can't add them together to get a “net force" on either object.
A Smart Fortwo® car has a mass of 730 kg, which we assume on a flat surface is evenly distributed over its four tires. What is the maximum value of static friction on one tire if the coefficient of static friction between the tire and the road is 0.85? Note: In Iceland, though Smart cars are popular, there are special warnings about where to park them because the local winds can be strong enough to move the cars if they are not sheltered.

Momo with mass m is sliding down an inclined plane that makes an angle O relative to the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between Momo and the inclined plane is uk. Obtain an expression for Momo's acceleration along the incline. Assign a rotated Cartesian plane so that the acceleration is along the positive x-axis and the normal force is along the positive y-axis. The component of the weight parallel to Momo's acceleration is wy = mg The magnitude of the frictional force is f = Hk The normal force on Momo is n = mg 0. With these expressions and applying Newton's second law, we arrive at an expression for Momo's acceleration: a =
